The Val-Jalbert mini-hydropower plant is not only a source of renewable energy, but also a clear demonstration that energy development can be responsible and exist in perfect harmony with the host environment. Thanks to careful management the Ouiatchouan River’s flow and to harmonious building design, the mini-hydropower plant has become a star attraction on the site, attracting visitors while preserving the natural beauty of the Parc régional de Val-Jalbert.
